معرفی
Artem Nikulin is a Researcher specializing in thermal energy storage and phase change phenomena, currently contributing to research groups focused on critical behaviors in heat transfer systems. His work bridges fundamental thermodynamics with practical energy applications through advanced material engineering.
Education:
- MSc in Thermal Physics, Odessa State Academy of Refrigeration, Ukraine (2011)
- PhD in Technical Thermal Physics and Industrial Heat and Power Engineering, Odessa National Academy of Food Technologies, Ukraine (2015)
His research centers on nanotechnology-enhanced thermal systems, with primary focus on phase change materials and nanofluids for energy storage. Key investigations include:
- Thermophysical property characterization of complex liquids (nanofluids, refrigerant/oil mixtures)
- Pool boiling optimization via surface engineering and geometric configurations
- Electric-field-controlled crystallization in phase change media
- Thermal conductivity enhancement through carbon nanostructures
Recent publications (2021) reveal strong experimental emphasis on heat transfer enhancement, particularly through nanostructured materials and geometric modifications to boiling surfaces. His work demonstrates consistent innovation in thermal management for photovoltaic systems, shape-stabilized phase change materials, and refrigeration cycles, with significant contributions to understanding nanoparticle effects in single/two-phase flows.
Dr. Nikulin collaborates extensively across European institutions, evidenced by co-authorship with researchers from Portugal, Spain, and France. His current team focuses on phase transitions critical to next-generation thermal energy storage, targeting industrial heat processes and power generation applications through interdisciplinary approaches combining materials science and thermal engineering.
